[29:37] Chairing a Toastmasters International Convention can be a rewarding experience, but combining that journey with a three-decade-long friendship can enhance the magic even more. Today we have the honor of speaking with co-chairs Tony Longley & Pamela D. Rolle, from District 47. This dynamic duo will welcome Toastmasters around the world to the tropical paradise of Nassau in the Bahamas for the hybrid International Convention taking place August 16-19, 2023.

Pamela & Tony tell us what it's like to be the co-chairs,  how they've shared the role, what they've learned, and how Toastmasters has played a role in their development. They also enlighten us with little-known facts as they share the wonders the Bahamas has to offer, even beyond the picturesque pink-sandy beaches.

Listeners will also hear what attendees may expect at the Convention and its resort location - the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar Resort and Convention Center.
